McCloskeys Plead Guilty to Misdemeanor Charges, Forfeit Firearms Used in the Confrontation

Looks like they bent over.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who sought to protect their property and lives from the rabid BLM mob marching down their private street pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreed to forfeit the firearms they used in the showdown last year.
Mark McCloskey spoke to reporters from the courthouse steps on Thursday and said he’d “do it again” to protect his family.
“I’d do it again,” McCloskey said from the courthouse steps. “Any time the mob approaches me, I’ll do what I can to put them in imminent threat of physical injury because that’s what kept them from destroying my house and my family.”
Associated Press reported:
A St. Louis couple who gained notoriety for pointing guns at social justice demonstrators last year pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up the weapons they used during the confrontation.
Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment and was fined $2,000. Her husband, Mark McCloskey, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and was fined $750.
The McCloskeys, both of them lawyers in their 60s, wore blue blazers and spoke calmly in answering questions from Judge David Mason during Thursday’s hearing. Mason asked Mark McCloskey if he acknowledged that his actions put people at risk of personal injury. He replied, “I sure did your honor.”
A livestream of the militant mob clearly showed they entered through a gate into a private community.
Mr. McCloskey explained during his on-camera interview last year that he announced to the Marxist mob that they were on private property and that’s when they became enraged.
“Somebody forced the gate, and I stood up and announced that this is private property. Go back. I can’t remember in detail anymore. I went inside, I got a rifle. And when they … because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd,” he said.
McClosky said one of the militants pulled out a loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said ‘you’re next.’
“We were threatened with our lives, threatened with a house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was, it was about as bad as it can get,” McCloskey said.
McCloskey believes that the only thing that stopped the crowd from approaching his home was his rifle.

The fees and cost to fight was probably way more than the value of those guns.

Selective, weaponized enforcement of the law. Expect to see more of it.

I thought they were pardoned? this is nuts they were defending their home and were rightful in most States even without a no trespassing sign up.

They are guilty of harassment and assault.
Meanwhile the ones who trespassed on and destroyed private property are not even charged.
This is America today.
The motivation for leaving grows stronger all the time.

All these keyboard warriors saying they bent over must have no idea what it's like to go through the kind of harassment that these people did. The man is running for office. Sounds like he got the message loud and clear: You are not safe and must enter the fray if you ever hope to be.
He was defiant to the end and accepted the charges to move on to more effective actions. Grow the frick up.

Now she can get a functional weapon.

It’s easy for me to sit 1500 miles away saying they wussed out, but a St Louis jury could’ve wrecked their world . I may’ve done the same thing

Except you can’t do it again because you caved and turned over your weapons….

He's a Liberal, of course he bent the knee.
And his chances of even coming close in primary for Republican senate seat are now zero.zero
They were NEVER at fault, and this is shady as frick. Some one or something is happening.

Whatd the trespassers get charged with?

So holding a weapon on your own property is fourth degree assault?

The McCloakys know better than to take this to a liberal jury. Democrat jurors don’t care about facts.

I'd say the opposite is true. They definitely are the winners here. They were indicted for felonies.

Looking at their house the fines are nothing. That would be like a fine of 5 bucks for me.
frick giving them the guns though, what does that accomplish? It’s not a felony, so what’s the point? I guess to appease the mob who will think it means they can’t own guns anymore
